Globe Duo Plan: Mobile and Landline in One SIM Card

Globe Telecom has launched a new cellphone-and-landline-in-one service called the Plan Duo Subscription. This service allows Globe subscribers to carry two numbers in a single SIM card — 1 mobile and 1 landline. It is available only in Metro Manila and Cebu but the latter will be activated only on April 15.

I finally got my landline number after trying to register since 12:18 AM. In fact I tested it using my PLDT Landline then Abe Olandres called me through his DUO landline number. Clear reception so far.

Here are the series of text messages I got
(Click on the photos to enlarge)

1. I typed duo and sent it to 8888

It was buggy and kept saying that I used an incorrect keyword. I sent duo 4 more times until I got this second message.

2. Received your request

3. Text message arrived for more instructions

Type DUO AREA and send to 8888 for the area you are registering.

4. Text DUO
ON to the area you want to be registered.

Type DUO MM ON and send to 8888 (if in Metro Manila)

Type DUO MM ON and send to 8888 (if in Metro Manila)

5. You receive the terms and conditions to which you should reply YES

6. Another confirmation text for you to wait for another confirmation message.

Note that the time is 12:35 AM of April 5 but at 12 PM , I still didn’t get a confirmation message. I repeated step 1 to 6, the got this

7. Thank you for accepting the Terms and conditions.

This was the message at around 2:28 PM today:

My Duo Landline number is finally given to me. It starts at 02-215 ****

Note: If you don’t want all that info, just type the text message starting in number 5.
Text DUO MM ON to 8888 if in Metro Manila
Text DUO CEB ON to 8888 if in Cebu (Available on April 15)

How it Works

Subscription to DUO Service is P399.00/30days on top of a Globe Plan.

Once you are subscribed to Duo, you will be given your Duo Landline number. Now, your mobile phone and SIM will have two (2) numbers: your current mobile number (i.e. 0917-XXX-XXXX) and your Duo Landline number (i.e. 02-XXX-XXXX).

Upon activation, the following calls are rendered free of charge: DUO to any Landline calls, any Landline to DUO calls, and DUO to DUO calls. Calls made to other mobile numbers are charged regular mobile rates.

Everytime you call, no need for a keyword or special prefix:

To call any landline just dial the area code and the landline number

To call another DUO number just dial the area code and the DUO number of the person you are calling
For any landline to call you a person will just dial the area code and your DUO landline number

Service is initially available in NCR and Cebu only. All other calls outside the area code (02 for NCR or 32 for Cebu) will be charged regular mobile NDD rates.

How to Avail

Promo is open to all Globe Postpaid subscribers.

Subscriber can avail of the service through the Business Centers or Register via SMS (with required SMS acceptance of Terms and Conditions). Simply text DUO to 8888.

There will be an initial 90-day holding period for new activations, subject to pre-termination fee of P1,200.00.

You can only avail of one (1) active DUO landline number for every active Globe line, at any one time.

Globe Telecom has launched a new cellphone-and-landline-in-one service called the Plan Duo Subscription. This service allows Globe subscribers to carry two numbers in a single SIM card — 1 mobile and 1 landline. Check the details of the plan below:

:sigh: As a novice snapper I sometimes feel awed by the amount of information I need to learn about photography. However, the more posts like this i read, the better a photographer i become. Thanks for helping me move on a bit.

Have you seen the new TVC from Globe? It’s quite cute, in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way. They call it Globe Duo or Die and phones commit suicide in the ad. It’s really creative and funny and delivers the message—subscribe to Duo or else you’re dead—quite well. Has anyone seen it? It’s in Youtube now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2zGFkGMrW0

have been seeing the TV ad since 2 weeks ago and i was kinda “natuwa” of the tvc maybe because as we know, medyo high tech na tayo ngaun, so mas convenient and mas nakakatipid in one way is to have a landline in your own mobile phone, anyways, will be subscribing to Globe Duo not later than this week. pag nalibre ako sa office.

@vin-seems you’re not reading…kindly read back, no time to explain it seems that the thing is its just above you…back to comment for Globe Duo. for me its Globe predicament to Smart’s Uzzap choppy-high cost service. Globe Duo is practically convenient though metro manila and cebu area pa lang and lets just wait, Globe is doing something to surprise us. here’s my 2 cents!
